1188 His Heart Turned Soft

He pursed his lips and said in a low voice, “I’m sorry!”

“Why are you apologizing to me? You’re not in the wrong. It’s all those people from the Rong family. They’re detestable to think of such an extreme method. As expected, they don’t consider us family.” Su Jiu was indignant.

The thought of them using her to make things difficult for Rong Si and threaten him made her angrier.

She could not forgive them no matter what.

“Don’t worry! I won’t let them off easily.” Since they wanted to ask for trouble, they couldn’t blame him for retaliating.

Of course, Rong Si didn’t want to waste too much time on irrelevant people. Their actions had crossed a line not just for him, but for the law as well, so he would let the law punish them.

Rong Si called the police. By the time he and Su Jiu gave their statements, it was already night.

To avoid being recognized, Su Jiu tightly wrapped herself in a hat, mask, and wide scarf, and so did Rong Si. Only their eyes were exposed.

Su Jiu allowed Rong Si to hold her hand as they walked along the embankment. She looked at the young couples around them, laughing and fooling around without any scruples. Then she looked at herself and Rong Si; the two of them could only keep a low profile.

She gloomily said, “I think I regret being a celebrity. I have to hide even when I’m dating.”

Rong Si seemed to smile. “Hm, Almost correct, but this isn’t the dating stage, but the engagement stage. Don’t you agree, fiancée?”

Embarrassed, Su Jiu reached out to pinch his palm. “Okay, okay, you’re right!”

“Of course, I am.”

Seeing that he cared about the change in their relationship, Su Jiu hugged his waist and leaned against his chest. Smiling, she said, “Don’t worry! I know we’re engaged, fiancé!”

Rong Si felt his heart melt when she called him that.

At the same time, an uncontrollable urge surged from the depths of his heart. He wished he could ruthlessly embed her into his bones.

When she met his aggressive and explicit gaze, Su Jiu was surprised. She looked away in embarrassment. “Um… it’s getting late. Let’s go back quickly. Otherwise, Xinyan and the rest will be worried again.”

Earlier, when Su Jiu had returned to the hotel in the afternoon, Song Xinyan had rushed up to her and hugged her. Song Xinyan couldn’t help but cry. It was obvious that she was scared out of her wits. She had thought that Su Jiu was going to be ended by some criminal.

Then Su Jiu and Rong Si had gone to give their statements. Song Xinyan had told Su Jiu in a commanding tone to come back early and stop scaring her.

Sensing Su Jiu’s shyness, Rong Si smiled. “Okay.”

The night deepened.

The rest of the day had passed without any mishaps, but Su Jiu was a little tired. She took a shower and crawled into bed. With her phone in hand, she started to look up gifts for her boyfriend online.

No, he isn’t my boyfriend.

Su Jiu changed the search term to fiancé.

She was so engrossed in reading that she did not notice the man coming out of the bathroom wrapped in a bathroom robe. He was wiping his wet hair with a towel in one hand and walked to the bed with interest. He leaned over and watched with her—

Q: What should I give my fiancé for his birthday?

1. Razor. All men need a razor. It helps men stay clean and tidy, a daily practical gift.

I have gifted him this before.

2. A watch. One of the very popular gifts that bring out a man’s temperament.

This too.

The watch she had given him had been custom-made by a world-renowned watchmaker. Her and Rong Si’s names were engraved on the dial. Rong Si liked it and still wore it.

3 …

Su Jiu continued reading. There was nothing special about the list. It was all the same.

At this moment, she suddenly saw a topic and asked, “What gift should I give a boy to remember for the rest of his life?”

The answer with the most number of likes was: Give yourself to him.

Su Jiu was speechless.

She felt that the person who had given this answer must be a man. They are always thinking about these things!
